So today was to be a day of much activity. I was going to read a book on introductory biology to remind me what bacteria are and finish the transposing after I'd bought some white out.

However, then it occurred to me that I had never made any biscuits with the 10 animal shaped biscuit cutters that a friend gave me for Christmas. And I thought of the documentary on swamp animals that I was watching on Saturday with my brother. It had hippos and alligators in it. So did my box of biscuit cutters!

Then my thoughts turned to the medium... what sort of biscuit would be best for making into a hippo? Gingerbread!!

Trip to the supermarket: mini m&ms, shiny cachous, tiny coloured flower things, white out. Ready!

It took a couple of hours from start to finish but they looked beautiful. I took them to bible study in an attempt to make myself popular... do you think it'd work?

Right. I am now going to attempt to put a picture on my wiblog all by myself using my very own (well Dad's) webspace. Deeep breath...
